Thanks to everyone....
So is this "Tropiolum" or "Tropaeolum"?

.......and as Bulbaholic says, if it doesn't like your garden it will not grow at all, however much you persevere, as I can testify!

There are a lot of others too, like T. ciliatum with small yellow flowers which climbs like T. speciosum and is easier to establish.

'Tropaeolum speciosum' and a lovely sight! It must like your garden. :-))))

OK, any specific tropaeolum, Jozef? The basic one is the annual nasturtium, seed from any garden centre and easily grown. Then there are tuberus rooted perennials, the most well known being Scottish Flame Flower, Tropaeolum speciosum. Easily grown in many gardens and will not grow at all in others. It like semi shade and moist growing conditions wit other shrubs to scramble over. Be aware, if it really likes you it is a weed.
